Look of the Week & DIY Video: Boyfriend Jeans

I'd like to introduce you to the brand new Vancouver Vogue Youtube channel! I'll be posting videos on DIY projects, thrifting finds/how-to's, and whatever else you want to see. To start off, I've got an easy DIY project on how to make your own boyfriend jeans; don't spend $80 on a pair when you can get the desired effect yourself for less than 10 bucks! I promise you it's super easy and no-sew.

Give it a try, and when you're all done, check out how to style your new boyfriend jeans below:

The jeans have a very rugged, casual feel to them, so to fit my style, I needed to up the chic factor. Thus, voilà leopard heels! Leopard is everywhere right now, but I like to keep it to the accessories. I particularly like how leopard goes with olive or wine, hence the blazer I thrifted (see Thrifty Thursday later this week for the details). Throw on some cat eye shades to keep the look feminine and refined. By far my favourite accessory of this outfit is my box of macarons...all the way from Paris, courtesy of my lovely friend Katrina! She was kind enough to help me satisfy my macaron obsession with a selection of the parisian cookies from Biscuiterie de Montmartre! Délicieux!
